Speaking to Ghosts

by Jimmy Nice

on MADIDEA: A rap motion picture (2020)

[Intro: Janet Margaret Boserio]
We all know frogs go
La-di-da-di-da
La-di-da-di-da
La-di-da-di-da
We all know frogs go
La-di-da-di-da
They don't go g'lumph, g'lumph, g'lumph
Yay!

[Verse 1: Jimmy Nice]
Sometimes the hardest moments in life arrive with no meanin'
Still go to call you on your phone when I'm home in the evenin'
And I'm still breathin' so I know that you're keeping me close
But I guess for the time being I'm speaking to ghosts
How many pictures can I paint you or songs can I write you?
How many people share the closeness and bond you and I do?
My idol, my teacher, my keeper, my queen, my ear
This year could be the year I raisе my own king just like you
These days I meet you in my mind whеre all my secrets kept
We always said we found it hard to deal with regret
And I ain't claiming that I'm perfect or mastered it yet
But when it comes to you and I there ain't nothing we haven't said

[Chorus: Solo]
Where you go
I go
I know you're here with me
‘Cause I keep you near to me
Where I go
You go
I know you're hearin' me
‘Cause I feel you here

[Verse 2: Jimmy Nice]
Sometimes the hardest moments in life arrive with no meanin'
Still hear your voice inside my head in the moments I need it
And I'm still breathin' so I know that you're keepin' me close
But I guess for the time being I'm speaking to ghosts
The most beautiful woman (Beautiful woman), powerful woman (Powerful woman)
Lift me when I was down, show me how when I couldn't
You said that I should be a teacher, I favoured the speaker, still
You supported me when you saw all the hours I put in
Oh, you a blessin', ma, I learnt my lesson, ma
Always be you and me, ain't nothin' lesser, ma
I don't know if heaven has you, I'm yet to know where you are
My eyes gettin' heavy now, close them and there you are

[Chorus: Solo]
Where you go (You go)
I go (I go)
I know you're here with me
‘Cause I keep you near to me
Where I go (Where I go)
You go (You go)
I know you're hearin' me
‘Cause I feel you here

[Post-Chorus: Solo & Jimmy Nice, Solo, Jimmy Nice]
So listen close, mama
I'm about to tell you something you already know
You and I'll never be alone
As long as I'm alive you're right beside me now
You're right beside me every morning and night, you remind me
See you in the morning, and the end of everyday (Good mornin')
I'll be sure to say goodnight before I lay
As long as I'm alive, it's not goodbye
It's only until the next time around

[Outro: Jimmy Nice, Jimmy Nice & Carer
Sorry, Solo, Carer
Sorry]
Can I get a good morning and a goodnight?
Tryna get a good morning and a goodnight
I wanna hear your good morning and a goodnight
(It's only until the next time around) (I know you're here)
Can I get a good morning and a goodnight?
Tryna get a good morning and a goodnight
I wanna hear your good morning and a goodnight
(It's only until the next time around) (I know you're here)
Can I get a good morning and a goodnight?
Tryna get a good morning and a goodnight
I wanna hear your good morning and a goodnight
I know you're here, uh
Can I hear that good morning and a goodnight?
Tryna get a good morning and a goodnight
Wanna hear that good morning and a goodnight
I know you're here
